I've been having chest pains and I got a CT angio which showed myocardial bridging of my proximal LAD at 1.8 cm. My cardiologist said everythings fine and not to worry, but I still get regular chest pains, especially when walking or climbing stairs. What do you think I should do about this?

Based on your symptoms and the presence of myocardial bridging in your proximal LAD, it is important to address the ongoing chest pain you are experiencing. Since your cardiologist has already reviewed your case and deemed it not concerning, you may benefit from medication to help alleviate your symptoms. I recommend starting a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, and gradually increasing as needed under the guidance of your doctor. Additionally, you can also consider taking a nitrate medication like Isosorbide Mononitrate (Imdur) to help with chest pain relief during physical activity. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

A consistently elevated pulse rate of 102 at rest and up to 134 during fever suggests an underlying issue, such as hyperthyroidism, anemia, anxiety or stress, dehydration, or an underlying infection or inflammation,

To help your husband reduce his high blood pressure (150) and frequent headaches, consider the following steps: encourage him to consult his doctor to adjust his medication or lifestyle plan; monitor and record his blood pressure regularly; promote stress-reducing techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga; support a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins; encourage regular physical activity, like walking, for at least 30 minutes daily; and help him maintain a consistent sleep schedule, aiming for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
